  • Our buyer has asked if we're willing to complete with them alone, before our vendor is ready, but we can stay in the house till our vendor can complete.

    Anyone heard this before? EA reckon it's rare but not unheard of. We're more than likely to say no due to the risk exposure, but yeah. Weird offer.

    Just tell them what would have to be true for you accept this, i.e. duration, rent (£1 or whatever like above), terms for leaving, who provides insurance, maintenance etc. You might find your solicitors can draw up and agreement that satisfies you and gets the buyer what they want, which is I assume a cheap mortgage.

    Guess it's all moot if you are a zillion miles from exchanging on the place you are buying.
